from yesterdays wreck at Pickering
are nearly all in the city and seem to be
doing well. The st. Louis hotel lobby
is somewhat like a convalescent ward
in hospital this afternoon, as a num-
Der of guests are walking about with
heads and arms bandaged. A meeting
of the passengers was held this after
noon in the hotel lobby and the follow
ing resolution passed: eve, the I'M
dersigned. passengers on the Inflated
train that was wrecked in Pickering cut

city. on the st. Paul IL Duluth railroad,

TO the heroiSm, self-denial and
uniform kindness of Conduc-
passenger, whether hurt or not. We
cheerfully recommend him to the travel
ing public, to the railroad officials and
Dthers whom he may know or atiany time
In the future become associated with,
aS a safe and efficient conductor"

THE on ANfRFF OF COMMERCE.
At meeting of the chamber of COM
merce to-day communication from the
projectors of the Duluth, Rainy Lake d
Southwestern road was read, in which
they outlined their projects and pros
poets. The road will run from
Duluth in northWeSterly
direction, striking the western
extension of the iron belt and running
through the pine forest of Upper st.
Louis to the southern borders of Rainy
lake, where an immense body of almost
untouched pine timber is located;
thence westerly through the Red Lake
reservation and into Dakota. The CO.
operation of Duluth and the chamber
was asked in so much as to memorabilia
congress to allow the road to build
through the Boise FOrtes reservation at
Nett lake across unSurveyed lands and
Red lake unceded lands and to bridge
the Red river. The following petition
was adopted: ITO the Congress of the
United States: There is before your hon.
Orable bodies bill to grant the Duluth,
Rainy Lake Il Southwestern Railway
company the right of way through the
Bots FOrtes reservation and Red lake
and unceded Indian and unsurYeyed
lands of the United States in Northern
Minnesota. In the opinion of your
petitioners. such road as that
contemplated by the Duluth,
Rainy Lake & Southwestern
would be very advantageous and of
great commercial utility, and would
open for settlement and business enter
priSeS the most desirable portion of the
northern part of a state" A committee
was appointed to draft articles of asSO-
citation for cemetery association and
to make arrangements in regard to a
cemetery. Another committee was ap-
pointed to draft memorial to congress
in behalf of making Duluth port of
entry. The committee appointed to
confer with the railroad managers re-
garding rates between Duluth and Chi
cago was requested to report at the
next meeting. The decision of Judge
Sleeper was received and the secretary
will correspond with the attorney in the
case in regard to an appeal to higher
court.
